Circle over Montpelier, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was walking to my house from school and I saw a circle with 4 lights on it zooming in the sky for about 9 seconds. I came here to report it because no one else believes me. The circle in the sky was at about 3:15. There was only one in the sky and the object was sitting there for a little bit, then zoomed off. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137518). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
